English (USA)
Safety notes
Use of seat belts and child seats is legally
prescribed in:
^all 50 states
^the U.S. territories
^the District of Columbia
^all Canadian provinces
For better protection of children under
12 years of age and under 59 inches
(1.50 m) in height, Mercedes-Benz
recommends you observe the following
information:
^Only secure children using a suitable child
seat which is appropriate to the size, age and
weight of the child and which is
recommended for Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
In doing so, observe the instructions for
using the child seat correctly.
^If possible, install the child seat on a rear
seat.
^Observe the warning labels in the vehicle
interior and on the child seat.
G DANGER!
In this child seat, transport only children
whose age and body weight correspond to
those of the approval data. When the child
seat is installed in the vehicle, make sure
that the vehicle's seat backrest is adjusted
and locked in place according to the
description in the vehicle Operator's
Manual (on vehicles with a folding
backrest, through-loading facility, etc.).
In the event of an accident, abrupt braking
maneuvers or a sudden change in
direction, the child may otherwise not be
restrained and may be seriously or even
fatally injured.
G DANGER!
Make sure that the child seat is installed
correctly. In the event of an accident,
abrupt braking maneuver or a sudden
change in direction, the child seat may
otherwise become detached, and the child
and/or vehicle occupants may be seriously
or even fatally injured. You must therefore:
^install the child seat in the vehicle facing
towards the rear.
^make sure that the seat belts on the
child seat are pulled tight across the
child's body and are not twisted.
^make sure that the seat belt or LATCH is
pulled tight across the child seat and is
not twisted.
^make sure that a front airbag can have
no effect on the child seat.
^make sure that there are no objects, e.g.
cushions, under the child seat.
^make sure that the entire base of the child
seat always rests on the seat cushion.
^make sure that the vehicle belt buckle is
not located in the blue seat belt guide.
^make sure that the seat belt is routed
from the blue seat belt guide towards the
rear (against the direction of travel).
^also install unused child seats correctly.
G DANGER!
This poses an increased risk of injury or
even fatal injury.
^Only children with a weight of up to
22 pounds (10 kg) and who measure up
to 31 inches (80 cm) in height are
allowed to travel in this child seat.
^Be sure to observe the content of these
operating instructions as well as the
warning labels in the vehicle interior and
on the child seat.
^Register the child seat with
Mercedes-Benz USA.

Safety notes
6
English (USA)
G DANGER!
The child seat may only be used in the front
passenger seat if the front passenger
airbag has been disabled and the
"PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator lamp
is illuminated.
In order for the front passenger airbag to
be disabled,
^the vehicle and the child seat must be
equipped with automatic child seat
recognition (ACSR).
or
^the vehicle must be equipped with the
Occupant Classification System (OCS).
If the front passenger airbag is not disabled,
the child could be severely or fatally injured
by the front passenger airbag if it is
deployed in the event of an accident.
Only install the child seat in a suitable rear
seat if this is the case.
G DANGER!
Your attention must always be focused on
the traffic conditions. No adjustments
must be made to the child seat while the
vehicle is motion, as this may otherwise
result in an accident or in the child, other
vehicle occupants or other road users
potentially being put at risk.
This poses an increased risk of injury or
even fatal injury.
G WARNING
An infant with a low birth weight may be
particularly susceptible during transport in
the vehicle. We recommend that you
consult your doctor before you and your
child leave the hospital.
G WARNING
When using the child seat in the rear
passenger compartment, make sure that
the front seat is only moved so far back
that it does not touch the child seat. Adjust
the front seat backrest as described in the
vehicle Operator's Manual. Otherwise, the
child could be injured in the event of an
accident or abrupt braking maneuver.
To reduce the risk of injury to vehicle
occupants in the front, they must select a
seat position that is as far away from the
airbag as possible. The driver must also
make sure that their seat position enables
them to drive the vehicle safely.
G WARNING
Child seats which have been damaged or
subjected to a load during an accident
cannot perform their intended protective
function.
A child cannot therefore be restrained in
the event of another accident, braking
maneuver or sudden change of direction.
This poses an increased risk of injury or
even fatal injury.
^Replace child seats that have been
damaged or subjected to a load during
an accident immediately.
^Have the vehicle seat belt checked
immediately at a qualified specialist
workshop before a child seat is installed
again.

General notes 7
English (USA)
When using the child seat on the front
passenger seat, be sure to observe the notes
in your vehicle Operator's Manual in addition
to the following points:
^Move the front passenger seat as far back
as possible.
^Fully retract the seat cushion length.
^The base of the child seat must always rest
completely on the seat cushion of the front
passenger seat.
^Never place objects under or behind the
child restraint system, e.g. a cushion.
General notes
If you have any questions, please contact:
1-800-FOR-MERCedes
(1-800-367-6372).
Caution Check that the child seat is installed
correctly before each journey. Check the
child seat regularly for damage.
Caution When securing the child seat with
the vehicle seat belt, always make sure that
the seat belt is not routed over sharp,
pointed or fragile objects The seat belt could
otherwise be damaged.
Approval
Only children with a weight of up to
22 pounds (10 kg) and who measure up to
31 inches (80 cm) in height are allowed to
travel in this child seat. Restrain the child
with the belts of the child seat.
This child seat meets all applicable
requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards.
Confirmation that the child seat corresponds
to the standards can be found on an
instruction label on the child seat.
The child seat is not approved for use in
airplanes, as the attachment of the child seat
in aircraft has not been tested.
The child seat is exclusively approved for
fastening with the vehicle seat belt or the
supplied LATCH.
Approval is invalidated as soon as you make
modifications to the child seat. Only the
manufacturer may make modifications.
The child seat may only be used for securing
your child in the vehicle. It is in no way
suitable for use as a seat outside of the
vehicle or as a toy.
Use in the vehicle
Please observe the notes in your vehicle
Operator's Manual on using the child seat.
Your child seat can be used as follows:
You should preferably install the child seat in
the rear passenger compartment on one of
the outer seats. Accident statistics show that
children secured in a suitable child seat on
one of the rear seats are safer than children
secured on the front passenger seat.
Please observe the requirements for the
state you are currently in.
G DANGER!
Do not make any modifications to the child
seat and the vehicle seat belt. Never
lubricate or grease parts on the child seat.
Never use the child seat without the seat
cover. Use an original Mercedes-Benz seat
cover, since it is an integral part of the
child seat and its statutory approval.
Approval is invalidated as soon as you
make modifications to the child seat.
Modifications to the child seat may lead to
the child not being secured sufficiently
and, particularly in the event of an
accident, abrupt braking maneuvers or a
sudden change in direction, the child may
not be restrained and may be seriously or
even fatally injured.

Vehicles with automatic child seat recognition (ACSR)
8
English (USA)
1) The seat belt must be approved in
accordance with ECE R 16 or FMVSS 209 (or
comparable standard), recognizable by the
„E“, „e“ marking on the approval label on the
seat belt.
2) The vehicle seat must be equipped with
LATCH-type (ISOFIX) securing rings. LATCH
= Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren
3) The use of a 2-point seat belt considerably
increases the risk of injury to your child in the
event of an accident.
4) Do not use a child seat in the front
passenger seat if the front passenger airbag
is not deactivated.
Vehicles with automatic child seat
recognition (ACSR)
If it is absolutely necessary to carry a child on
the front passenger seat, be sure to observe
the information on automatic child seat
recognition (ACSR) in your vehicle Operator's
Manual.
The child seat is equipped with two
transponders that switch off the front
passenger airbag when used on a front
passenger seat equipped with an ACSR
system.
Special transmitters (ACSR = Automatic
Child Seat Recognition) can locate these
transponders.
If you use the child seat on a front passenger
seat equipped with an ACSR system, the car
will recognize it and the front passenger
airbag will be automatically deactivated.
In the vehicle, the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF
indicator lamp is illuminated and indicates
that the front passenger airbag is deactivated.
Vehicles with Occupant
Classification System (OCS)
If it is absolutely necessary to carry a child on
the front passenger seat, be sure to observe
the information on the Occupant
Classification System (OCS) in your vehicle
Operator's Manual.
There you will also find information on
deactivating the front passenger airbag.
When the Occupant Classification System
(OCS) is malfunctioning, the red 6
restraint system warning lamp in the
instrument cluster and the PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF indicator lamp light up
simultaneously. The front passenger airbag is
deactivated in this case and does not deploy
during an accident. Have the Occupant
Classification System (OCS) checked and
repaired immediately at a qualified specialist
workshop. Mercedes-Benz recommends that
you use an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Do not use a child seat on the front
passenger seat if there is a malfunction in the
Occupant Classification System (OCS).
